Good idea all the way up to when the credit card machine or ATM doesn't work - Go to a different CC machine or ATM

or the card reader on the fuel pump is broken - Go to a different pump or walk inside to pay

It�s really not that difficult.

Must be an old...don�t trust power windows either?

I always carry cash


One of my supply houses offer 5% discount for cash

You could always buy a funeral home or open a riverboat casino

Agree.

I rarely have move than $50 cash on me. I just prefer to use a CC and pay once a month for everything.

I have never had a machine not work when I needed it.

i concur
i cannot imagine not having $ in my pocket

I love Benjamins. A bunch of 20's in my wallet makes my back hurt.

I've never owned a vehicle with power windows...

Haven't been to an ATM to get cash since 2013...

Back in 1988 I tried to pay cash ($100 bills) for a LazyBoy chair, the store told me they didn't have cash on the hand and that I would have to pay exact change. Had to break one of the $100's at the Dairy Queen next door...

I use either a credit card or check for everything anymore, and probably haven't used more than 5 checks in the past 3 years...

I know a guy who won�t buy a truck with power windows just because he might accidentally drive it into a lake or river, and he wants to be able to roll the windows down to escape. I tried telling him he could just avoid driving into a lake and have the convenience of power windows, but he wouldn�t listen.

I haven�t carried cash regularly for about 5 years. I honestly don�t ever remember going somewhere where their machine was down and I couldn�t pay. I�m sure it might happen at some point.

The only time I find myself needing cash is tipping a valet. But now all the valet guys have the Venmo app or Apple Pay so I just use that.

I rarely have less than $300 in my pocket and wife usually has about the same. Gives me a sense of security. Don't use it much as I use credit cards for most purchases other than at restaurants. And, I don't do business with anyone who doesn't accept cash, though I understand their problem with employees stealing. But I wonder about giving my CC to an employee who isn't trusted to handle cash?
